A permanent pier does make it easy for sure, but if you mark the focuser or camera adapter so the camera is in the same spot (or close to) each time you set up then the stacking program will line it all up easily. More advanced users use software called "plate solving" which will analyze one of the previous nights images and line the telescope up for you.
